The new research area of genomics-inspired network biology lacks an
introductory book that enables both physical/computational
scientists and biologists to obtain a general yet sufficiently
rigorous perspective of current thinking. Filling this gap,
Introduction to Biological Networks provides a thorough
introduction to genomics-inspired network biology for physical
scientists and biologists involved in interdisciplinary research.
The book focuses on the concept of molecular and genetic
interaction networks as a paradigm for interpreting the complexity
of molecular biology at a genomic scale. The authors describe the
experimental methods used to discover and test networks of
interaction among biological molecules. They also present
computational methods for predicting the interaction networks,
discuss general mechanisms of network formation and evolution, and
explore the application of network approaches to important problems
in biology and medicine. With many examples throughout and clear
explanations of key concepts, this book is the first to offer a
broad treatment of genomics-inspired network biology with
sufficient mathematical and biological rigor. It gives readers a
conceptual understanding of this burgeoning scientific field.
